This year I swore I would build something for my Chinook hops to climb all over, or up, and I didn’t do it again.

I just let do what it wanted. Its taken over on corner of my porch like it has in the past, but this year it seems bigger. Last year I got two pounds of wet hops. I think dry it ended up being just around a pound.

I don’t know what my yield will be this year, but each year I get more than the previous. The other hops Cascade, and Golding aren’t doing a thing, so I think its time to move them, or pull them.

I have had them long enough they should have give me something, but still nothing from them. Oh well, the Chinook compensates for them.

What are people growing out there, and what do you expect to get yield wise, and how do you plan to use them?
